When looking at the scores of the first three rounds of the District 1-3A Golf Tournament, it was almost a foregone conclusion that the Borger Bulldog Varsity team was going to claim the District 1-3A title unless they experienced an monumental collapse.
On Monday in Dalhart, the Perryton Varsity team did make things a little interesting in the final round of the district tournament by shooting a 309, just three strokes behind Borger’s 306. However, Borger had no problems claiming the district crown with a four round total of 314-306-338-306-1264 to finish 43 strokes ahead of second place Perryton who had a team total of 1307 for the four rounds.
Senior Will Paulsell shot a 70 in the fourth round to finish the tournament with a score of 69-72-78-70-289 to win the overall boys title.
Dylan Coffer finished the tournament in third place with scores of 79-74-89-74-316.
On the girls’ side, Clarice Myers shot a fourth round 94 which was good enough to earn her the overall girls district title with a four round total of 83-87-98-94-362 to finish five strokes ahead of second place Liz Hoelting of Pampa.
With four golfers finishing in the top five, Pampa showed a lot of strength on their way to the district girls’ team title while Borger finished in second place shooting 403-413-439-413-1668.
Both the Borger boys and girls golf team will next compete in the 3A Region I Golf Tournament next week in Lubbock.
